I lost my best friend in 2008 in a tragic helicopter accident that I was suppose to have been on but didn't as my one year old at the time was unwell. This was devastating to me and for many years I struggled with her passing. Too young and too many things in life yet to complete and achieve. I cant help but think that I was not there in that moment for a reason.

I lost my grandmother who grew me up from a infant. I was holding her hand when she passed. She is always in my memory and my heart and thoughts.

Its been 7 years since l lost my best friend and 2 years since I lost my grandmother who both played a very important role in my life. 

I struggle at times but its made me realize that life is too short and all I want is to be simply be happy and love life with the people I have in it. 

The journey has been hard and long but I've finally overcome the loss. I miss them and shed tears when I think of them but I know they would want me to be happy and to make the most of my life.

Hi Raia,

I am sorry to hear of your losses Raia and I am glad you are overcoming this. I keep my lost loved ones in my heart at all times and like you, I know they would want me to be happy, not sad because of their loss, I think I honour them by living my life to the fullest.
